QUOTE: Originally posted by tree68 Methinks that it's not the laws, but the culture that makes a huge difference in gun incidents. Remember - the gangs in LA (and elsewhere) know that members of other gangs are carrying. Still a lot of shooting going on. I suspect that if you plopped one of the major metropolises down in the middle of Texas, the murder rate would change a lot. Witness the disclaimer about the border region of Texas. Is the culture different there than in the panhandle? You betcha! Start stuffing people into Houston's transit the way they do in NYC and see if the incidents rise. And hey, I might be Mister Cool with my gun 99 44/100% of the time, but don't push me... BTW - I don't own any firearms.... My pellet pistol won't do a lot of damage. Probably just make you madder...
